• Add the remaining water, sugar, salt, melted butter and 5 1/2 cups of the flour.
• With the dough hook attachment, turn the mixer to low until ingredients are combined. Then turn to medium and allow mixer to knead the dough for about 7 minutes until it has pulled away from the sides and is stretchy.
• Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes, adding a bit of extra flour if needed, until smooth and elastic.
• Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled. About 2 hours.
• After dough has risen, turn onto a floured surface and gently roll into a rectangle approximatly 24 inches by 14 inches with the long edge facing you.
• Spread the butter over the dough, leaving 1 inch at the top end.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter, then sprinkle the cinnamon over the brown sugar.
• Roll the dough up, starting from the edge closest to you. Pinch the seam to help keep it closed.
• Cut the roll into 12 pieces, about 2 inches wide each. Then lighly spray 2 8x11 baking dishes with non-stick spray and place rolls in the dish leaving 2 inches between them. (you can also use 9x13 pans)
• Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled. About 2 hours.
• After rolls have risen, bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until golden.
• Remove rolls from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then frost as desired. Serve warm.

GIANT CINNAMON ROLL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Generously butter a 1-inch (2.5 cm) cast-iron skillet or cake pan.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The mixture should be just warm, registering between 100-110˚F (40˚C). If hotter, allow to cool slightly before proceeding.
• Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the warm mixture and let sit for 1 minute. Add 4 cups of the flour to the milk mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined. Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, the dough should have nearly doubled in size. Remove the towel and add an additional ¾ cup (95 grams) of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Stir well, then turn out onto a well-floured surface.
• Knead the dough lightly, adding additional flour as necessary, until the dough just loses its stickiness and does not stick to the surface.
• Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about ½ inch (1.5 cm) thick. Fix corners to make sure they are sharp and even.
• Make the filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon.
• Spread the filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, spreading right to the edges.
• Using a pizza cutter, make 3 horizontal cuts to divide the dough into 4 long, evenly-sized strips. Starting from the top, roll the first strip up from right to left. Take the first roll and place it on top of the next strip, starting again on the right side and rolling up right to left, building on the first. Continue with the remaining strips until you have a giant cinnamon roll.
• Place the giant cinnamon roll in the prepared skillet or cake pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and leave to rise for 30 minutes. The cinnamon roll should expand to the edges of the pan during this time.
• Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
• Uncover the cinnamon roll and bake for 45 minutes. Cover the roll with foil to prevent the outside from burning, and bake for an additional 35 minutes.
• While the cinnamon roll is baking, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, butter, milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
• Remove the cinnamon roll from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. Once cool, remove from the pan and drizzle the frosting over the roll before serving.
• Enjoy!
